Unity Linux 20.1050e Security Update: kernel (UTSA-2026-102007)

high Nessus Plugin ID 337273

Synopsis

The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-102007 advisory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i2c: core: fix adapter deregistration race

Adapters can be looked up by their id using i2c_get_adapter() which takes a reference to the embedded struct device.

Remove the adapter from the IDR before tearing it down during deregistration (and on registration failure) to make sure its resources are not accessed after having been freed (e.g. the device name).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected kernel package.
